A routine traffic stop turned into a nearly $1 million drug bust for Naperville police officers on Tuesday.

A police dog sniffed out drugs from a pickup truck that police in the western Chicago suburb had stopped near the intersection of Route 59 and North Aurora Road, the Chicago Tribune reports. Police then searched the vehicle and found roughly 19 pounds of methamphetamine in the bed of the truck.

The truck's occupants, Jesus Rubio, 25, and Edgardo Rodriguez-Sanchez, 20, both of Des Moines, Iowa, were charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, reports FOX Chicago.

Cook County Board President: Reagan Deserves 'A Special Place In Hell'

AUGUST 2012 -- A mere passing mention of the "war on drugs" has the tendency to send Chicago-area media into a firestorm. After Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle stated, during an event led by former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, that former President Reagan deserved "a special place in hell" for his administration's drug policy, she almost immediately backtracked on the comment.
Preckwinkle later emphasized that, although she could have used more careful wording, she remained critical of how the United States has approached substance abuse as a criminal problem rather than a health crisis, the Chicago Tribune reports, though Reagan is not the only president whose administration has held such a position.
"Drug policy in this country has been in the wrong direction for 30 years," she noted.
